Steps to reproduce

The installation package that is automatically updated each time will not be deleted after the update is completed or the installation package that has been updated will not be deleted regularly. The path to automatically update the downloaded installation package is C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\PowerToys\Updates\ Each automatic update will retain the installation package, which will take up a lot of space over time. A button can appear to choose whether to keep the installation packages of previous updates or a customizable regular cleaning task to clean the installation packages.
